I lie still…
game breeze
combs my hair

☯

I’m a poor host–
some of my books
can’t stand up straight

☯

Rain…?
Or just wind
clacking the leaves?

☯

Slow July…
water pauses
in the sink

☯

Downtown Jesus…
spiderweb,
cheek to shoulder

☯

Lying flat…
hoping to catch
galactic drift

☯

That gravel beach,
instantly damp–
dog shaking off

☯

Evening courtyard…
dachshund squeaks
beyond the fence

☯

Afternoon shade…
pigeon pecks
between street seams

☯

Monday–
truck roars, confident
for the week

☯

Late July…
two dandelion seeds
dance the wind

☯

Switch off the alarm!
perforce, to save
one dream

☯
